Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

France: Teacher faces suspension for calling Toulouse jihad murderer a “victim,” calling for moment of silence

Mar 23, 2012 5:48 pm By Marisol Seibold

Most of the students walked out. “‘French teacher asked minute’s silence for Merah’,” from the Jerusalem Post, March 23: France’s education minister called for disciplinary proceedings against a teacher in the north of France on Friday, after she allegedly asked her students to observe a moment’s silence for serial killer Mohamed Merah, the man who […]

Europe: “We have a different kind of jihadist threat emerging and it’s getting stronger”

Mar 23, 2012 5:41 pm By Marisol Seibold

And if you’re keeping score on currently preferred terminology: “We prefer the term self-starting over lone wolf,” the official told the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of his work. Stamp out lupophobia now! “APNewsBreak: Europe faces jihadist threat, from the Associated Press, March 23 (thanks to Kenneth): With France’s deadly attacks, […]

Al-Qaeda claims murder of American teacher on suspicion of “Christian proselytizing”

Mar 23, 2012 4:42 am By Marisol Seibold

At the end of the day, Joel Shrum was a non-Muslim, and an American. That is all the excuse al-Qaeda would need, but they are likely seeking further support in the population by pandering to existing animosity and suspicions. An update on this story. “Al Qaeda claims it killed American in Yemen,” by Hakeem Almasmari […]

Toulouse jihad gunman was on U.S. “no-fly” list

Mar 23, 2012 4:32 am By Marisol Seibold

As a former government minister observes below, it seems highly doubtful that Merah was paying his own way through the past few years: “too many arms, too many trips, too much money.” “Toulouse shooting: Killer was on U.S. ‘no-fly’ list,” from the Telegraph, March 22: Nationwide relief greeted the news that no police fatalities had […]

Nearly 1000 Pakistani women victims of honor killings in 2011

Mar 23, 2012 4:13 am By Marisol Seibold

These numbers are from the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. So, are they “racists,” or are they “Islamophobes” for pointing out that unpleasant fact? The elephant in the room continues to be Qur’an 4:34, which despite the best efforts of the HuffPo Tafsir Bureau and other apologists to assure us otherwise, approves in letter and […]

Indonesia: Foiled Bali jihadists planned to bomb beach-front bar, rob jewelers to fund future attacks

Mar 23, 2012 4:03 am By Marisol Seibold

Jihad causes poverty: a successful plot would threaten to tank the tourism industry, and would have repercussions for the entire economy and nation. More on this story. “Bali attack plot shows Indonesia terror threat evolving,” by Olivia Rondonuwu and Stuart Grudgings for Reuters, March 22: (Reuters) – A foiled plot by suspected Islamic militants to […]

Report: Saudi Arabia agrees to allow female athletes to Olympics, provided participation “meets the standards of decency and women do not contradict Islamic law”

Mar 23, 2012 3:44 am By Marisol Seibold

They had to agree in principle, or risk being shut out of the Olympics. But this can still find many ways of not happening. There are only a few months before the London Olympics, and since Saudi Arabia has never had the intention of fielding female athletes, they have not actively trained female athletes for […]

French police: Toulouse jihad gunman is dead

Mar 22, 2012 4:36 am By Marisol Seibold

“You’re what the French call Les Incompetents” – Home Alone One might call what we’ll see next the Jihadist Recycling Program: France will almost certainly now have to deal with calls for revenge for Merah’s death, after Merah himself had his own concocted excuses for revenge. It is the jihadists’ renewable resource, such that they […]

France: Jihadist gunman had been under surveillance, under arrest in Afghanistan

Mar 22, 2012 4:29 am By Marisol Seibold

Mohammed Merah appears to have escaped in this prison break orchestrated by the Taliban. He then melted back into French society, until he decided to make another move. That will surely be the subject of investigations to come. “French shooting suspect was under surveillance,” from Reuters, March 21: REUTERS – For Mohamed Merah, the Frenchman […]

Report: Police in flat of Toulouse jihad gunman

Mar 22, 2012 4:20 am By Marisol Seibold

So, remember when the Toulouse jihadist said he would surrender yesterday? Well, so much for that. These tactics certainly seem familiar: enter into negotiations to buy time, do the opposite of what one pledged, say one has changed one’s mind, resume negotiations, bluster a lot, lather, rinse, repeat. Authorities say they have had no contact […]

Al-Qaeda’s former second banana urges Afghans to rise up against “Crusader pigs”

What about bunnies? “Zawahiri urges Afghans to rise against “˜Crusader pigs”,” from Al Arabiya, March 22 (thanks to Kenneth): Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri urged Afghans to rise up against “Crusader pigs” in an audio message on Wednesday, after he referred to the burning of the Quran by U.S. soldiers last month. Zawahiri also made reference […]

Shocker: Chechnya’s “Islamic revival” becoming “less voluntary”

Mar 22, 2012 3:34 am By Marisol Seibold

Actually, that has been the case for quite some time, as documented by Human Rights Watch and others. It is another example of the pattern in which wherever Sharia experiences a resurgence, tolerance decreases and harassment increases. “Chechnya’s Islamic revival is becoming less voluntary,” from USA Today, March 21 (thanks to Kenneth): SERZHEN-YURT, Chechnya — […]

Report: Jihad gunman in Toulouse stringing police along, changing mind on surrendering

Mar 21, 2012 5:06 pm By Marisol Seibold

France 24 and other news organizations initially reported the assault had begun on Merah’s apartment. Later reports, including those from the BBC, portray the blasts that had occurred as psy-ops, perhaps to startle him into making a move. Merah may well also be following the news coverage, and law enforcement may be employing disinformation for […]

France: Jihad gunman “has no regrets, except not having more time to kill more people and he boasts that he has brought France to its knees”

Mar 21, 2012 5:02 pm By Marisol Seibold

Jihadists don’t lack for three things: bloodlust, excuses for “revenge,” and hubris. “Toulouse siege gunman ‘planned another attack’,” from France 24, March 21: REUTERS – A besieged gunman suspected of shooting dead seven people in the name of al Qaeda boasted to police on Wednesday he had brought France to its knees and said his […]

Man claiming to be jihad gunman called France 24, was “adamant” it was beginning of larger campaign, blames French niqab law, military intervention, grievances against “the Jews”

Mar 21, 2012 11:21 am By Marisol Seibold

Not “Zionists,” but “Jews.” The more excuses he piles on, the clearer it is that it is not ultimately about any of them. This, again, is about supremacism and antisemitism.

France: Jihad shooting suspect named, says he wants “revenge for Palestinian children”

Mar 21, 2012 4:15 am By Marisol Seibold

Major media outlets say Muhammad Merah has not been arrested, but says he will surrender “this afternoon.” The excuse is familiar and predictable, as pretexts for revenge are a renewable resource for jihadists. There will always be a grievance, there will always be an excuse for more bloodshed, and there will always be an excuse […]

Rubin, and Matthew Rosenberg for the New York Times, March 17: KABUL, Afghanistan “” The Americans in Afghanistan are “demons.” They claim they burned Korans by mistake, but really those […]

Israel: Iranian military experts operating in Gaza, Sinai

Mar 21, 2012 2:05 am By Marisol Seibold

“The senior source also claimed that Islamic Jihad continued to fire rockets at Israel even after the recent cease-fire was announced because the Iranians pressured that organization, and the popular resistance groups, to continue acting against Israel.” The interest in sovereignty is curiously selective. Here, the jihadist groups are letting themselves be bullied by Iranians. […]
